Anboxing - "Why so much talk about Anbox?"

Joe steps in with a real life situation where Android was messing up his dogfooding (and discovers that Uber webapp now in OpenStore

The two valid choices with strong arguments on each side:
a) Help improve and test Anbox and put Android app safely on your UT phone
b) Commit to not using Anbox and forcing

Wayne sides with Anbox as a 'bandaid solution' to speed up transition and uses Korean chat app as example

Joe was excited about Anbox but the bubble burst when he bumped his head

Test versions of Anbox are there and getting better. For the adventurous, here is a link for more information.

Wayne exposes bugs on FP2 with Dekko and Notikaringding (if you know what this sentence means, you're deep in the club!)

"If the only thing stopping someone from moving to Ubuntu Touch is ______ (insert Android app here) then Anbox is a good thing."

"The most important thing is choice." - Joe

"Anbox is the Wine of Ubuntu Touch" - Wayne

Anbox removes excuses from device manufacturers which is massive

Samsung's Dex thing is good for showing a 'kind of convergence' but is not what we know it could/should be.

Million dollar question: Why would Samsung waste their time doing Dex when UT and Unity8 are sitting here?

How do we get Samsung's dev team to start working on UT? With amazing documentation? No! By sticking Marius in a room with them to school them!

Wayne's prediction (you heard it first here - mark the date): a small manufacturer will raise $5.0M for round 1 fundraising for software and then once working unbeatably and securely, raise second round for hardware and then - boom. UT for the world!

Ubuntu desktop is proof that we have 'already arrived'

Joe's Mama and Wayne's Mama both use Ubuntu desktop! Come on, people. Get it together...

Giiiiiiit!

Action Items

Try dogfooding for a week. If you have both, or a supported UT device, put down your 'other device' and pick up Ubuntu Touch and force yourself to use only that.

Instead of complaining about a software bug that repeats itself in your life, report it on the appropriate bug-reporting page. If you find it already, make a comment in the bug thread explaining that it affects you, too.
